Benn playing for about 6 months. i really started getting into it. but now, it's all T2 Shocktrain spectres, everywhere, every fight. sometimes if you go up against a 6member clain, its ALL shocktrain spectres.
these weapons are grossly overpoweres, heavy damage, long range, multiple targets, and a big gap between targets.
1 or 2 people can keep an entire team at bay.
it's just stupid.
Fun game, at first it was really about skill and strategy, the weapons being balanced enough and the playfield set up so that a good pilot could beat a better mech if he tried, but once you get out of gold, all of the fun and strategy go away, and it's just nothing but shocktrain spectres, and shocktrain bulg's, which require little to no skill to use, and can shred whole teams.

I felt the same when I was a noob.But you adapt (maybe get a couple? )I thought they were just unbeatable until I ran some ,believe me I get killed EZ so much so that my ST.Bulgarsari is now a Taran Bulgi. Wait til you face clans of whales with mk2 Spectres,not fun but really I feel mk2 is the real culprit.

[…] mk2 is the real culprit. Pretty much all that needs to be said

Sounds right, but... and that's where the rub lies, it forces teamwork (2:1 attackers vs defender), use terrain as cover, understanding weapons and ranges, taking advantage of spawn points, and making sure you build bot/weapon combos correctly. Always build bots with at least 3 hard points. What else can you do? I just got a Scourage and use it with a Hover/Votex/Aphid build... it's rain and lightning from above....

Run a Punisher Galahad ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) It feels good to push them to a corner with a perhaps 100 times cheaper gear, until ... one of them come up with Orkan Spectre,

Ive 1 shockTr (not combat ready) need atleast 2 to bring them. My answer to Specta-shockTr r Zeus or Scourge (in Randon Queue). Just go after him. The more u wait the more damage it will cause.

I don't mind pay to win, These companies don't make games for the fun of it, there needs to be a profit, and im 100% ok with that. I've never bought a mech or weapon, but in the 6 months ive played,I've bought about $50 worth of keys here and there. and $50 for six months of a game is totally worth it. but anyone who wants to drop $100 can get a spectre with 4x shocktrains.
The thing about shocktrains that makes them particularly stupid is the train part, or the range, either one should be tweeked. you can't expect a random grp of people on a game (which has to be like 90% or more of all games) to suddenly coordinate, with the right mechs at the right time, to counter whales needing easy kills.
whats the answer? I can only speculate, but my idea would be to significantly decrease range. if you want to do big damage, bypass shields, and hit multiple people people who aren't even within line of sight or even locked (I mean, comon), then you need to scamper your little butt a little closer. it should have 300m range.

At least you're raging about Shocktrains... Wait till you face a full ORKAN MK2 Spectre group... Lol nowhere to run, nowhere to hide once they break into your spawn point...

Oh definitely nerf them shocktrains. Even just a little would be good. And greatly shorten the range.
They did try a shield to compensate energy weapon damage, but most people arent going to sacrifice a med or heavy weapon slot to do so.

Benn playing for about 6 months. Shocktrain were OP and dominating since day 1 and I think they dropped in September or October of last year. My fond memories of War Robots are from like 1 year and 6 months ago. Spectres only added to the insanity...just wait until they create a heavy version of the Shocktrain and then make a bot with 4 heavy slots, descend, and a Bulwark-like shield. It's just a matter of time.
